Hello, upgrading x86 machines according to this howto [http://www.illumos.org/projects/illumos-gate/wiki/How_To_Build_illumos] has worked for me so far. I tried to apply the same approach on a SPARC machine, but the machine won't boot any more. :-(
The original boot environment was a build 145 compiled from the OpenSolaris
repository. Then I performed the following steps from the howto:
wget
http://hg.illumos.org/illumos-gate/raw-file/tip/usr/src/tools/scripts/onu.sh
chmod +x onu.sh
pfexec ./onu.sh -Ot os-devel_145 -U os-devel -u
http://91.194.74.69:10000
The onu script above completed normally, with no errors, and everything looked
exactly the same as on x86. A new BE called 'os-devel_145' was installed and
activated. Rebooting to the new boot environment resulted in the following
disaster:
SPARC Enterprise T1000, No Keyboard
Copyright 2008 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved.
OpenBoot 4.30.0, 3968 MB memory available, Serial #********.
Ethernet address *:**:**:**:**:**, Host ID: ********.
Boot device: disk File and args:
SunOS Release 5.11 Version osnet145 64-bit
Copyright (c) 1983, 2010, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights

pci: cannot load driver
Cannot load drivers for /p...@7c0/p...@0/p...@8/s...@2/d...@0,0:a
Can't load the root filesystem
Type 'go' to resume
{0} ok
A couple of notes and questions:
1) 'osnet145' is the version name from the original BE, which had been
set inactive. (The version would read 'onnv_145' if the new active BE booted
correctly.)
2) Could I have possibly installed a set of packages for x86 on SPARC?
(That sounds like a possible explanation. But how could it happen?)
3) How do I select boot environments from the 'ok' prompt? Is this
possible? I have only seen notes for GRUB so far.
4) The machine does not have an optical drive. Is there a network boot
image for Illumos/OpenSolaris?
5) Is there another reasonable way to diagnose/fix this...?
A piece of advice would be very helpful. Thank you in advance. :-)
